fabulous speed intervals make me so happy

I had a super fabulous run at lunch today!  I was tired beforehand and after I felt so great. I love it when everything just clicks!  It was 12C out, which is quite lovely, and the sunny was peeking in and out but not overwhelming. I went for my usual seawall lunch time route and …

tuesday lunchtime strength

My half training plan calls for weights on Monday, but I really enjoy taking two full days off a week, it just works for me. So maybe I should just permanently move weights from Monday to Tuesday?  Regardless I managed to do an actual, real weights workout today. I am still suffering from lack-of-trainer, low-motivation …

i lost my house key

I had a psychic moment this morning.  I was about 9 or 10 minutes into my run and I thought to myself oh my god, where is my house key? I patted myself down and checked my pockets, twice. It was gone.  Fuck.

Fuck, fuck fuck.  I started retracing my steps at a slow jog …

my highest running mileage week ever!

First we should talk about my weekend runs.  Yesterday I was hungover and ran 3 miles with a headache that refused to go away. It was through some of my favorite trails up near UBC but I wasn’t feeling it. In fact I actually went back to bed after I got home. Then today I …

1 hour strength workout

I did a quick weights workout during my lunch hour today. It fits perfectly in 60 minutes, giving you 10 minutes to get to the gym and change, and 10 minutes to shower and get back to your desk.  For me that is really more like 5/15.

Warm-up 5 minutes on recumbent bike

Do the following set …

Another thursday and another 3 mile easy run.  I am glad tomorrow is a rest day and this week is almost over,  I am just generally tired and it is definitely oozing into my workouts.

Though, I got out there and did my easy run,  I am really not looking forward to lifting later. Bahhh. It …

35 minute tempo run, tempo take two

Today was my second attempt at a tempo run. My first one, two weeks ago,  was run on a sore throat.  Well today I was suffering from a serious wine headache. You see, we went out for dinner last night with my parents to celebrate my recent engagement, and the wine was flowing.   So this …

a sore butt run and a terribly expensive spin class

Yesterday was allegedly a rest and strength day. But I really wanted to go to spin because  I hadn’t been in 6 weeks because of being out of town and busy. My favorite teacher teaches Mondays and Wednesdays and she makes the greatest music mixes.  So I went to spin early with the intention of …

busy seawall 10k

After spending the weekend out of town, again, I was really looking forward to driving to a nice trail this afternoon for a longish run.  Unfortunately the ferry almost an hour later, which pretty much killed my driving time.  Instead, I thought I would jog down to the seawall and if it wasn’t  busy I …

a good lunchtime workout

So this week, unfortunately I can’t workout with my trainer. My current partner has gotten too pregnant to workout with me and I just can’t afford 1:1’s. So I am on my own until I find someone else to train with.

So because of that, I was on the hook to give myself a good workout, …
